and doing something different....which may take some getting used to.....and just because I can't fish every week doesn't mean I can't learn about fishing and use it for confidence the next time I get to go.....crappie .com folks ARE the best and without it I would not be still fishing for sacalait today...water temp 63 muddddddy winds from the north which was protected on the bank I was fishing...then it got dark and I had to go....saw wildlife and fisheries on the way out....all was legal and I thanked him for his service....he was very nice.
